Course Description

The changing climate has an ever-growing impact on human health.

This dynamic two-week course will teach students how climate change affects human health, how we as physicians can respond to and minimize the effects of climate change, and how to effectively communicate these problems and solutions to patients, communities, and lawmakers. Students will complete preparatory readings and videos before discussion sessions with other students and faculty members.
